The 1986 Listening Post - Killer Dwarfs - Stand Tall

Killer Dwarfs - Stand Tall


#504
November 9 1986
Killer Dwarfs
Stand Tall
Genre: Arena Metal
3 out of 5


Highlights:
Stand Tall (Stick to Your Guns)

So, while this is perfectly mediocre metal, for me it’s a lot more entertaining than their debut. Also, is it just me or do they sound like a bridge between…gulp, Ratt and GnR?
More Ratt than Axl but, still, that’s what I hear. Maybe it’s just Graham’s voice. I dunno. Don’t hate it. Won’t remember it. 
The live track at the end, “Bite the Hand that Feeds” shows what they could have been: A more fun, less cartoony Kiss. 
If only the whole thing had been more like that.
